Are you going to a housewarming party and don’t know what to bring? It doesn’t matter if it’s your best friend’s first home or a new neighbor’s welcome party; some people think it’s rude to turn up empty-handed.
But depending on who the person is, knowing what to buy can take a lot of work. Especially if it’s a new neighbor you don’t even know. Fear not!
Below, we’ve created a list of 5 gift ideas suitable for a range of people – at least one will be appropriate.
Scented Candles or Diffusers
No, you’re not saying their home is smelly – we think you can’t go wrong with a wonderful-smelling scented candle or diffusers. They have the power to transform a house into a home. A good candle is everything. Have you ever felt like lighting a candle at the end of cleaning? Or walked into a house filled with a divine scent from a diffuser by the front door? See? You really can’t go wrong.
Make sure you pick a high-quality candle or diffuser that’ll last long.
Indoor Plants
Indoor plants are beautiful, and they’ll always be on trend. Whether the plant survives is up to the new owner, but it’s still a beautiful idea.
In addition to being a beautiful aesthetic, they also purify the air and boost mood. Not that the new owner will necessarily think about that, but it’s a nice addition. Consider easy-to-care-for options:
● Succulents
● Snake plants
● Peace lilies
Don’t get something too complex. It definitely won’t survive.
Gifts That Reflect Style and Beliefs
You could pick gifts that reflect their beliefs and style. If your friend or family member is religious, you could get them a beautiful ornament. Items like this often become a staple to their home. If you need gifts for Jewish friends, you could get them divine Judaica items. You could get them a cross for the wall if they’re Christian.
Or you can focus on their style. If you know they’ve spoken about wanting a bohemian-themed home, get them a wicker side table or a colorful, quirky throw.
Thoughtful Gift Cards
If you’re unsure or want to give the gift of choice, a thoughtful gift card can be the perfect solution. Can you really go wrong with a card? It’s more suitable for people you’re not as close with, but if all else fails, it’s still a good idea. One of the best ideas is gift cards for decor stores (obviously) or local nurseries for plants. You could even get them one for their favorite restaurant – maybe they want a night off cooking.
It isn’t always easy to choose the perfect housewarming gift. And nobody wants to pick the gift that gets put in a drawer and never looked at again. If you’re a homeowner, you’ll be guilty of that crime once or twice when someone gives you a gift. But with our ideas, we hope you buy a gift that people want to see and use – they’re what we’d want, anyway.
